Spirited Ventures, Inc., is a spirit board manufacturer
dedicated to breathing new life into an American art that began weaving
its spell over a hundred years ago. Spirit boards began their impact
on many forms of entertainment almost immediately. Plays, sheet music,
and magazine covers depicting spirit board sessions were common in the
1900s. Today, many forms of media from comic books to television and
movies about the supernatural or paranormal frequently include a spirit
board scene to conjure up feelings only playing one can truly bestow.
At Spirited Ventures, Inc., we strive to generate interest in spirit
boards, and are happy to work with others on projects that focus on
the mystery and magic that is the talking board experience.

In 1999, DreamWorks SKG employed Robert L. Murch,
cofounder of Spirited Ventures, Inc., as a spirit board expert and vendor
in the film What Lies Beneath starring Michelle Pfeiffer
and Harrison Ford. Robert has been collecting spirit boards for seven
years and has amassed over 300 different variations of these enduring
boards. He also remains in contact with many of the descendants of the
original families who were involved in the conception of the first spirit
boards in America.

Gary D. Halteman, cofounder, brings a more mundane
knowledge to Spirited Ventures, Inc. His psychology background picks
up where the history and lore of the spirit board leaves off. Many theories
attempt to explain the inner workings of the spirit board, and his understanding
of these theories continue to shape Cryptique, allowing it to appeal
to people regardless of their theologies. Spirited Ventures Inc., believes
these qualifications are an integral part of the success of the company
as well as the spirit board itself.

The mission of Spirited Ventures, Inc., is to provide
an inspiring, unique, top-quality spirit board that brings hours of
entertainment to its consumers. Taking the spirit board to a new level
and offering a complete spirit board experience is the ultimate goal
of Spirited Ventures, Inc. We have no doubt that if Cryptique is given
the opportunity, THE SPIRIT WILL MOVE YOU.
